WARNINGS—Pay Attention to These Terms
WARNING: Gasoline, as well as other flammable
materials and liquids (adhesives, solvents, etc.), and
the vapors they produce, are extremely dangerous.
DO NOT handle, use or store gasoline or other
flammable or combustible materials anywhere near
or in the vicinity of a water heater. Be sure to read
and follow the warning label pictured below and
other labels on the water heater, as well as the
warnings printed in this manual. Failure to do so can
result in property damage, bodily injury, or death.
Vapors from
flammable liquids will
explode and catch fire
causing death or severe
burns.
Do not use or store flammable
products such as gasoline
solvents or adhesives in the
same room or area near the
water heater.
Keep flammable products:
1. far away from heater,
2. in approved containers,
3. tightly closed and
4. out of childrenʼs reach.
Water heater has a main
burner and pilot flame.
The pilot flame:
1. is on all the time and
2. will ignite flammable
vapors.
Vapors:
1. cannot be seen,
2. are heavier than air,
3. go a long way on the
floor,
4. can be carried from other
room to the pilot flame by
their currents.
Installation:
Do not install water heater
where flammable products
will be stored or used unless
the main burner and pilot flames
are at least 18" above the
floor. This will reduce, but
not eliminate, the risk of
vapors being ignited by the
main burner or pilot flame.
Read and follow water heater warnings and instructions. If owners
manual is missing, contact the retailer or manufacturer.
DANGER: Failure to install the draft hood and
properly vent the water heater to the outdoors as
outlined in the Venting section of this manual can
result in unsafe operation of the water heater. To
avoid the risk of fire, explosion, or asphyxiation from
carbon monoxide, never operate this water heater
unless it is properly vented and has an adequate air
supply for proper operation. Be sure to inspect the
vent system for proper installation at initial start-up;
and at least annually thereafter. Refer to the
Maintenance section of this manual for more
information regarding vent system inspections.
DANGER: Water heaters utilizing Liquefied
Petroleum gas (LP) are different from natural gas
models. A natural gas heater will not function safely
on LP gas and vice versa. Conversion from Natural
gas to LP gas (or vice versa) must be done by a
qualified service technician. To avoid possible
equipment damage, personal injury or fire: DO NOT
connect this water heater to a fuel type not in
accordance with unit data plate. Propane for
propane units, Natural gas for natural gas units.
These units are not certified for any other type fuel.
DANGER: LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM MODELS:
Propane, or LP gas, must be used with great
caution.
• It is heavier than air and will collect first in lower
areas making it hard to detect at nose level.
• Make sure to look and smell for LP leaks before
attempting to light appliance. Use a soapy solution to
check all gas fittings and connections. Bubbling at a
connection indicates a leak that must be corrected.
When smelling to detect an LP leak, be sure to sniff
near the floor too.
• Gas detectors are recommended in LP applications
and their installation should be in accordance with
the manufacturer's recommendations and/or local
laws, rules, regulations or customs.
• It is recommended that more than one method be
used to detect leaks in LP applications.
WARNING: LP appliances should not be installed
below-grade (for example, in a basement) if such
installation is prohibited by federal, state and/or local
laws, rules, regulations or customs.

GENERAL SAFETY
To meet commercial hot water requirements, the tank-
stat is adjustable up to 190°F. However, water
temperatures over 125°F can cause severe burns
instantly or death from scalds. This is the preferred
starting point for setting the control for supplying gen-
eral purpose hot water.
Safety and energy conservation are factors to be con-
sidered when setting the water temperature on the
tankstat. The most energy efficient operation will result
when the temperature setting is the lowest that satis-
fies the needs consistent with the application.
Maximum water temperatures occur just after burner
has shut off. To find hot water temperature being deliv-
ered, turn on a hot water faucet and place a
thermometer in the hot water stream and read the
thermometer.
Water temperature over 125°F can
cause instant severe burns or death
from scalds.
Children, disabled, and elderly are
at highest risk of being scalded.
See instruction manual before set-
ting temperature at water heater.
Feel water before bathing or show-
ering.
Temperature limiting valves are
available, see manual.
Table A details the relationship of water temperature
and time with regard to scald injury and may be used
as a guide in determining the safest water temperature
for your applications.
Time/Temperature
Relationships in Scalds
The temperature of the water in the storage tank can
be regulated by setting the temperature dial on front of
the tankstat. To comply with safety regulations, the
tankstat was set at its lowest setting before shipment
from the factory.
Fig. 1 illustrates the tankstat. To adjust the water tem-
perature, insert a small straight screwdriver into slotted
screw in hole in front of tankstat and turn wheel to
desired setting. Thermostat is adjustable up to 190°F.
Temperature Time to Produce Serious Burn
120°F More than 5 minutes
125°F 1-1/2 to 2 minutes
130°F About 30 seconds
135°F About 10 seconds
140°F Less than 5 seconds
145°F Less than 3 seconds
150°F About 1-1/2 seconds
155°F About 1 second

tive.
GENERAL
SPECIFICATIONS
The Raypak water heaters are design certified by the
and tested under the requirements of the American
National Standard, ANSI Z21.10.3. Each heater has
been constructed and pressure tested in accordance
with the requirements of Section IV of the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers Code, and factory
fire tested.
These heaters are designed for indoor and outdoor
installations, and can be installed on combustible floor-
ing when the appropriate listed floor shield base is
used.
Models are available with standing pilot or with inter-
mittent ignition device (IID), and are equipped with the
following components as standard: water circulation
pump, pressure relief valve, manual reset high limit
switch, flow switch, vent thermal and flame roll-out
switches (except for models 330 and 400), a solid
state Economaster pump control relay, 40VA trans-
former, and redundant combination gas valve for use
with either Natural or Propane gases. A tankstat is
supplied loose for installation in the field.
DANGER: There is a Hot Water SCALD Potential if
the tankstat is set too high.
CAUTION: Hotter water increases the risk of
SCALDING!
NOTE: When this heater is supplying general
purpose hot water requirements for use by
individuals, a thermostatically controlled mixing
valve for reducing point of use water temperature is
recommended to reduce the risk of scald injury.

Table C: Minimum Clearances from Combustible
Surfaces
WARNING: Air supply to the heater room must not
be affected by mechanical exhaust vents located in
other parts of the house, such as kitchen or
bathroom fans, or attic blowers. Mechanical exhaust
vents may create a negative pressure condition in
the heater room that can become a hazard of
asphyxiation, explosion or fire.
CAUTION: Combustion air must not be
contaminated by corrosive chemical fumes which
can damage the heater. Measures must be taken to
prevent the entry of corrosive chemical fumes to the
combustion and ventilation air supply. Such
chemicals include, but are not limited to, chlorinated
and/or fluorinated hydrocarbons such as found in
refrigerants, aerosol propellants, dry-cleaning fluids,
degreasers, and paint removers. Other harmful
elements may come from bleaches, air fresheners,
or mastics. Vapors from these types of products can
form corrosive acid compounds when burned in a
gas flame. The resulting acid condensate can
damage or substantially reduce the life of the heater.
It may be necessary to provide outside air directly to
the heater in order to avoid this problem.

1. The heater must be provided with adequate sup-
ply of air for proper combustion and ventilation in
accordance with the latest edition of the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, or applicable provi-
sions of the local building codes.
2. When the heater is installed in a confined space
where all air is supplied from inside the building,
the heater room must be provided with TWO
openings, each one having a minimum net free
area, in square inches as shown in Table D.
One opening shall be within 12 inches of the top,
and the other opening within 12 inches of the floor.
If additional gas appliances are installed in the
same space, the total input of all gas appliances
installed in the same space, must be considered in
the calculation. Refer to Sec. 5.3.5 of the latest
edition of the National Fuel Gas Code for addition-
al requirements.
3. If the heater room is located against an outside
wall and air openings can communicate directly
with the outdoors, the TWO openings on the out
side wall must each have a net free area, in
square inches as shown in Table E.
Location of the openings is the same as in the pre-
vious case - that is, within 12 inches of the top,
and within 12 inches of the bottom of the enclo-

Vent piping the same size or larger than the draft hood
outlet is recommended, however, when the total vent
height is at least ten (10) feet (draft hood relief open-
ing to vent terminal), the vent pipe size may be
reduced as specified in the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z 223.1. As much as possible avoid long hori-
zontal runs of vent pipe and too many elbows.
If installation requires horizontal runs, the vent pipe
must have a minimum of 1/4 inch per foot rise and
should be supported at not more than five foot inter-
vals. Plumbers tape, crisscrossed, will serve to space
both horizontal and vertical piping. Maximum vent con-
nector horizontal length shall be 1-1/2 feet (18 inches)
for each inch of connector diameter as shown in Table
F.
Gas vents supported only by the flashing and extend-
ing above the roof more than five feet should be
securely guyed or braced to withstand snow and wind
loads. We recommend use of insulated vent pipe
spacer through the roofs and walls.
For protection against rain or blockage by snow, the
vent pipe must terminate with a listed vent cap which
complies with the local codes or, in the absence of
such codes, to the latest edition of the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
The discharge opening must be a minimum of two feet
vertically from the roof surface and at least two(2) feet
higher than any part of the building within ten (10) feet.
Vent stack shall be at least five (5) feet in vertical
height above the drafthood outlet. The vent cap loca-
tion shall have a minimum clearance of four (4) feet
horizontally from, and in no case above or below,
unless a 4-foot horizontal distance is maintained, from
electric meters, gas meters regulators and relief equip-
ment.
WARNING: Indoor heaters require a drafthood that
must be connected to a vent pipe and properly
vented to the outside. Failure to follow this procedure
can cause fire or fatal carbon monoxide poisoning.

Common Vents
Manifolds that connect more than one heater to a com-
mon chimney must be sized to handle the combined
load. Consult available guides for proper sizing of the
manifold and the chimney. At no time should the area
be less than the area of the largest outlet.
At the time of removal of an existing heater, the follow-
ing steps shall be followed with each appliance
remaining connected to the common venting system
placed in operation, while the other appliances remain-
ing connected to the common venting system are not
in operation.
(a) Seal any unused openings in the common venting
system.
(b) Visually inspect the venting system for proper size
and horizontal pitch and determine there is no
blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and
other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe
condition.
(c) Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and
windows and all doors between the space in which
the appliances remaining connected to the com-
mon venting system are located and other spaces
of the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any
appliance not connected to the common venting
system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range
hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will oper-
WARNING: These heaters must not be connected
into any portion of mechanical draft systems
operating under positive pressure. To do so may
cause the flue products to be discharged into the
living space causing serious health injury.

ate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer
exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers.
(d) Place in operation the appliance being inspected.
Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust tankstat so
appliance will operate continuously.
(e) Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening
after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the
flame of a match or candle, or smoke from a ciga-
rette, cigar or pipe to visually check spillage.
(f) After it has been determined that each appliance
remaining connected to the common venting sys-
tem properly vents when tested as outlined above,
return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace
dampers and any other gas burning appliance to
their previous conditions of use.
(g) Any improper operation of the common venting
system should be corrected so the installation
conforms with the latest edition of the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. When re-sizing any
portion of the common venting system, the com-
mon venting system should be re-sized to
approach the minimum size as determined using
the appropriate tables in Chapter 10 and in
Appendix G of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1 and CAN/CSA-B149.
Gas Supply Connections
The inlet gas connection to the heater gas valve is
3/4" for models 260/261 and 330/331; and 1" for mod-
els 400/401. Provide an adequate gas supply line
according to Table G below.
Gas piping must have a sediment trap ahead of the
heater gas controls, and a manual shut-off valve locat-
ed outside the heater jacket. All gas piping should be
tested after installation in accordance with local codes.

*Do not exceed maximum inlet gas pressure. The minimum value
shown is for input adjustment.
Table H: Gas Pressure Specifications
The gas pressure regulator is preset and sealed at 4
in. WC for natural gas, and 11 in. WC for propane gas.
Between the gas valve and the burners is a 1/8 in. pipe
plug. The pressure at this point, taken with a manome-
ter, should be about 3.7 in. WC natural gas and 10.5
in. WC propane gas. Lo NOx models should be 3.9 in.
WC natural gas only. If an adjustment is needed,
remove seal and turn adjustment screw clockwise to
increase pressure or counter-clockwise to decrease
pressure.
Water Connections & System
Piping
The pipe size and fittings between the heater and the
tank should be at least 1-1/2" for all models. The tank
should be located as close to the heater as possible,
as shown in Fig. 13 below.

If this water heater is installed in a closed water supply
system, such as one having a back-flow preventer in
the cold water supply line, means shall be provided to
control thermal expansion. Contact the water supplier
or local plumbing inspector on how to control this situ-
ation.
When this water heater system is supplying general
purpose hot water requirements for use by individuals,
a thermostatically controlled mixing valve is recom-
mended to reduce the risk of scald injury. Contact a
licensed plumber or the local plumbing authority for
further information.
Thermometer(s) should be installed so that they indi-
cate the water temperature at or near the outlet of the
storage tank.
Relief Valve
A new combination temperature and pressure (T & P)
relief valve, complying with the Standard for Relief
Valves and Automatic Gas Shut Off Devices for Hot
Water Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.22, must be
installed in the opening provided on top of the storage
tank, at the time of installation. No valve is to be placed
between the relief valve and the storage tank.
The pressure rating of the relief valve must not exceed
the 160 maximum working pressure indicated on the
water heater rating plate. The BTUH rating of the relief
valve must not be less than the BTUH input of the
heater.
Connect the outlet of the relief valve to a suitable open
drain. The discharge line must pitch downward from
the valve to allow complete draining (by gravity) of the
relief valve and discharge line. The discharge line
should be no smaller than the outlet of the valve. The
end of the discharge line should not be threaded or
concealed, and should be protected from freezing. No
valve of any type, restriction or reducer coupling,
should be installed in the discharge line. Local codes
shall govern installation of relief valve.

Electrical Wiring
The electrical power supply requirement for these
heaters is 120 volts, 60 Hz. Field wiring connections
and electrical grounding must comply with the local
codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the latest
edition of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
Provide a separate fused circuit from the main electri-
cal panel to the heater, and a disconnecting means
within sight of the heater.
Remove the control box cover and make the power
supply connections in the field wiring compartment.
The pump is supplied and factory wired to operate with
the heater. The current draw is approximately 2.0
amps. Refer to the heater internal wiring diagrams
shown on pages 17 to 21.
NOTE: If it is necessary to replace any of the
original wiring, it must be replaced with 105°C wire or
its equivalent, except 150° black wire which must be
replaced with 150° wire or its equivalent.
NOTE: Minimum 18 AWG, 105°C, stranded wire
must be used for all low voltage (less than 30 volts)
external connections to the unit. Solid conductors
should not be used because they can cause
excessive tension on contact points. Install conduit
as appropriate. All high voltage wires must be the
same size (105°C, stranded wire) as the ones on the
unit or larger.
